ONCE UPON A TIME ...

We were customers of transport companies. We realised that not all transport companies could do what they promised. They sold a one stop shop but in fact they brokered work off to other carriers and agents.

When we wanted answers about the ‘last mile’, some of these carriers would go to ground, hoping you’d give up waiting on hold or that freight would turn up tomorrow, sounds familiar.

And then there were the annual price rises, weekly account fees and ‘miscellaneous charges’, we’ve heard it all before …

Initially we brokered freight deals for customers but over time we found that wasn’t always good enough.

Our promise of an express freight delivery service was sometimes on a ‘knife edge’.

So we aligned our business with territory/service Agent Specialists and started buying our own vehicles and putting freight through our Shareholder’s and Linehaulier’s transport businesses and forged local alliances with smaller dependable carriers for greater control.
